4 WRC-­‐15 Agenda Item 1.18 Title of the Agenda Item at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-­‐2015): 1.18 to consider a primary allocation to the radiolocation service for automotive applications in the 77.5-­‐78.0 GHz frequency band in accordance with Resolution 654 (WRC 12) Objective: " To fill a 500 MHz band in the 77.5 to 78 GHz band, in order to achieve global harmonization for ITS Collision Avoidance Radar operating in the 77 to 81 GHz band " To study other ITS safety-­‐related applications that may benefit from global or regional harmonization 7 77-­‐81 GHz Spectrum Allocation 75
